Editorial & Publishing Policies

SECTIONS

In the framework of the journal, all the works from the
field of security, defence and peace are placed together in the section titled
"articles". In this section, original scientific works, review
scientific works and short scientific articles are published.

The
original scientific article is just the first publishing of the original
research results in such a form that the research can be repeated, and the
facts that have been brought can be tested. Following the rule, it is
organized by the IMRAD pattern (Introduction, Methods, Results and
Discussion) for experimental research or in a descriptive way for
descriptive scientific areas. The original scientific articles have to be
published in a scientific journal with a reviewing system of acceptance of
articles and be reviewed. The reviewing system has to be visible according
to the instructions for authors.

Review
scientific works are a review of the newest works on a specific subject
field, works by a researcher or a group of researchers, with the aim of
sublimating, analyzing, evaluating and synthesizing the information
already published. It brings about new syntheses, which also include the
results of the author's own research. The review scientific article has to
be published in a scientific journal with a reviewing system of acceptance
of articles and be reviewed. The reviewing system has to be visible
according to the instructions for authors.

The
short scientific work is an original scientific article, which might omit
some of the elements of the IMRAD pattern (Introduction, Methods, Results
and Discussion). In short, it sublimates the results of the final original
research work or the work that is still in process. The mini reviews and
previous publishing also have their place, but only if they are
significant as a short scientific work.

In the second section titled "scientific articles, reviews and
interviews", whole thematic units shaped in the form of reviews,
scientific works and interviews are put together.

The
scientific article is a review of (something) already familiar, with
emphasis on the application of the results of the original research and
broadening of the knowledge, while the "weight" of the text is
adjusted according to the needs of the users and readers of the academic
or scientific journal it is published in.

The
review presents the opinion of an academic and scientific work, especially
in terms of its quality.

The
interview presents a relevant academic or scientific conversation intended
for the public. Primary authorship belongs to the interviewed person, if
the quotes from their answers cover a larger part of the published text.
On the contrary, the interviewed person is treated as a secondary author.

In the third section, certain documents are published, such as:
conclusions from a current summit of NATO, the EU or another international
organization or a national strategic document, etc.

LANGUAGE POLICY

The journal is publishing
in English language. This provides promotion of the journal itself
and of the authors themselves, which will create the possibility of publishing
works from interested authors outside the borders of the Republic of Macedonia.

PUBLISHING
POLICY

The views of the authors in the journal belong to them only, and not to the
editors. Texts that the reviewers will prove to contain hate speech or are
insulting to specific people or groups of people, will not be published. In
addition, the works in English must be previously proofread, and this is the
obligation of the author.
